SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING :  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
This projector produces an intensive light from the projection lens.  Do not look directly into the lens; it may
damage your eyes.  Be especially careful that children do not look directly into the beam.
This projector should be set in the way indicated.  If not, it may result in fire hazard.
Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector.  Minimum clearance must be maintained.  If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed,
the minimum distances must be maintained.  Do not cover the
ventilation slot on the projector.  Heat build-up can reduce the
service life of your projector, and can also be dangerous.
Do not put any flammable objects or spray cans near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
holes.
The Remote Control Unit, supplied with this projector, emits a laser beam as the laser pointer function from the
Laser Light Window while pressing the LASER button (for 1 minute / LASER POINTER INDICATOR lights red
to indicate laser emission).  To reduce the risk of injury, do not look into the Laser Light Window nor shine the
laser beam on yourself or other people.
If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, unplug the projector from the AC outlet.
